In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to the crock pot.

Step 4
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well developed.
Step 6
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Step 7
Serve the Cowboy Stew hot, with optional toppings like shredded cheese or fresh parsley. Enjoy!
